Parquet Courts took the stage on the Late Show with David Letterman last night, slaying a performance of Sunbathing Animal-opener Bodies Made Of, and completely winning Letterman over in the process – “No kidding! How about these guys? Paul and I have talked it over, and we would like to manage the band! We’re going to the moon, boys!”. The band found their new #1 fan just in time, as Letterman will be stepping down before the end of the year, with Stephen Colbert set to succeed him.

Parquet Courts ‘Sunbathing Animal’ is available now from iTunes, Amazon, and all good independent record stores.

Parquet Courts have shared an official music videos for “Bodies”, the opening track from this year’s “Sunbathing Animal” LP. Directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, the London-based duo responsible for the forthcoming Nick Cave film “20,000 Days on Earth”, the grainy clip was shot at the band’s recent show at Sugarhill Supper Club in Bed Stuy. More photos from which can be found on Brooklyn Vegan here.

Speaking of Parquet Courts shows, we’ve got some more for you! The band have announced a handful of US / EU dates throughout the rest of the year, as well as two short runs under the guise of PCPC, a Parquet Courts x PC Worship supergroup. PCPC will be supporting Thurston Moore for his East Coast dates next month.

PCPC is:Like P-Funk, MinuteFlag, Ciccone Youth, Loutallica and Red House Chili Painters (bet you didn’t know about that one), PCPC is what happens when two legendary rock juggernauts join forces. In this instance, members of PC Worship and Parquet Courts have merged into a NY noise-rock confederacy, each band bringing their own sonic distinctions. Spawning from a long history of playing shows together as separate entities, PCPC is born out of an aesthetic solidarity, and will to create something new. Look for them this Fall in select cities throughout USA and Europe.

At the end of their recent US tour, Parquet Courts stopped by the KEXP studio in Seattle to perform five songs from new album “Sunbathing Animal”. Watch the session in full below, featuring: Ducking & Dodging, Black and White, Vienna II, Dear Ramona, and What Color Is Blood.

The band have just announced their biggest NYC show to date: Webster Hall on December 11, where they will be playing with Blues Control and PC Worship. Tickets are available from Monday.

New Yorkers should also keep an eye out for the new “Sunbathing Animal” mural currently occupying the corner of N. 10th and Driggs in Williamsburg.

Happy Parquet Courts release day! “Sunbathing Animal”, the band’s incredible follow-up to 2012’s “Light Up Gold”, is out now and available to purchase from iTunes, or your local independent record store.

To celebrate the release, Parquet Courts have also shared an official video for current single “Black and White”, directed by guitarist Austin Brown, and Johann Rashid. Watch.
